The main waste generated in a municipal waste water treatment plant is the wastewater sludge that is removed from mechanical, biological and chemical wastewater treatment processed.

The amount of sludge depends on the type of treatment, the connected population and population equivalents, and wastewater characteristics. Wastewater characteristics and specific sludge production vary from country to country and from region to region.

There is even a difference between urban and rural areas. Sludge production figures range from 20 to 45 kg of dried solids per person per year.
